Allied (2016)
Takes too long to get going.
Movie really starts 50min in when they sit Brad Pitt down. After that, it's pretty good. They really just need a good editor to cut like 15 minutes of the first 50 minutes. Then maybe it's a seven out of 10. The movie itself is well shot and looks good in a classical style. But we couldn't help getting resentful of them sort of wasting time elongating act one. Act two is a quick reveal of the choice. And the ending also kind of left something to be desired.
The Stand (1994)
Do not watch this. Re-boot in 2020
Do not watch this. I watched it for you. And it was awful and unwatchable. And I don't mean in the way like oh it was good in 1983 but not now because of graphics and what not. No, it's just terrible. The acting is awful. The story is terrible. The directing is incompetent.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981)
Doesn't hold up
Loved the book, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The first episode is pretty good, kind of fun for fans of book. The second episode, I was trying to laugh off the 70s crappy special effects. By the third episode, Felt like it was just crap. I watched it through, but really not worth your time. Re-read the book or listen to the audiobook instead.
